Henry Bolte - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Pair of hits in debut Bolte started in center field and went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Bolte had an eventful big-league debut, tallying a pair of hits on groundballs to third base, one of which Nolan Gorman whiffed on in the second inning while the other was legged out for an infield single in the fourth frame. Bolte's lone out was still a productive one, as he lifted a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning for his first career RBI while also extending the Athletics' lead. The 22-year-old's promotion to the majors Tuesday came on the heels of a blistering stretch with Triple-A Las Vegas, where he posted an OPS north of 1.000 with 12 homers, 28 RBI, 41 runs and 17 stolen bases across 37 appearances. One of the organization's top prospects, Bolte should receive his fair share of opportunities in Sacramento, particularly in center field and against left-handed pitching.

Added to major-league roster The Athletics selected Bolte's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Bolte was off to a scorching-hot start at Las Vegas, slashing .348/.418/.658 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 177 plate appearances. The 22-year-old outfielder can handle all three outfield spots and could push the struggling Lawrence Butler (.179/.278/.282) for playing time in center field.

Moving up to big leagues The Athletics plan to call up Bolte from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

Impact With shortstop Jacob Wilson suffering a shoulder sprain in Sunday's loss to the Orioles that could send him to the injured list, Bolte looks like he could end up being promoted in a corresponding move to fill the open roster spot. Though he won't be a potential replacement option at shortstop for Wilson, Bolte could push the struggling Lawrence Butler (.560 OPS in 133 plate appearances) for regular playing time in the outfield. The 22-year-old Bolte has been one of the Pacific Coast League's hottest hitters through the first month and a half of the season, slashing .348/.418/.658 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 177 plate appearances.

3 pitches, 3 homers for Athletics in Cactus League matchup with Padres

Draws praise from manager Bolte went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Reds.

Impact Bolte collected a pair of singles as part of a strong offensive showing for the Athletics on Sunday. Following the game, manager Mark Kotsay said, "There's a lot of us in that coaches' room that think [Bolte] has the ability to be a real star. He continues to make progress each year, both on the physicality side and the baseball side of just being a better hitter," Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Kotsay added, "The tools, the talent and the ability all align with this kid having an impact in our organization, hopefully sooner than later." Bolte is likely to open the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, but the 22-year-old earning a call-up at some point in 2026 appears to be a very realistic possibility.

Red hot since return Bolte (undisclosed) is 7-for-21 with seven RBI and four runs scored in five games since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Impact Bolte was shelved at Double-A Midland due to an undisclosed injury June 30. He's been impressive since returning to health and is currently riding a five-game hitting streak, improving his average to .278 through eight games this season for the RockHounds.

On IL at Double-A Double-A Midland placed Bolte on the 7-day injured list June 30 with an undisclosed injury.

Impact A righty-hitting outfielder with plus-plus speed and plus raw power, Bolte is repeating Double-A after logging a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in 54 games there in 2024. Prior to his injury, he was slashing .274/.377/.423 with seven home runs, 31 steals and a 26.9 percent strikeout rate in 75 games. His contact rate at Double-A is up from 60.9 percent in 2024 to 69.3 percent this year, so while he has improved, Bolte still projects to strike out a lot at the highest level.

Moves up to Double-A The Athletics promoted Bolte from High-A Lansing to Double-A Midland on Monday.

Impact The 20-year-old outfielder will head to the Texas League after he turned in a .276/.394/.515 slash line with 11 home runs and 28 stolen bases across 320 plate appearances. Bolte boasts a solid blend of pop, speed and on-base skills, but improving on his shaky hit tool will likely be essential if he's to stick in an everyday role by the time he reaches the big leagues. He struck out at a 30.9 percent clip in the Midwest League, which was actually an improvement from his rate over 491 plate appearances with Single-A Stockton in 2023 (33.4 percent).
